Condoleezza Rice says China's rising military power concern to regional stability

Any European Union move to
resume weapons sales to China threatens to upset the
balance of power in the Pacific, U.S. Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice said Sunday.
"We have managed over the last decades to maintain a
stable environment" in the Pacific, Rice told reporters in
Seoul before flying to Beijing. "And obviously, anything
that would appear to try and alter that balance would be a
concern to us."
Rice, in Asia for talks this week, arrived Saturday in
Seoul to meet with South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun and
other officials to discuss ways to lure North Korea back to
nuclear disarmament negotiations.
